Have you replaced the battery? That's obviously the first thing you need to do. If everything's working slow and you can't start the car, then it's your battery.

if all your accessorires are coming on but the engine has trouble turning over it's most likely a battery problem. Check the battery terminals for corrosion and clean it of. If that doesn't do anything replace the battery all together. An easy 2 minute job.

battery first if it doesnt help then its your starter contacts. if there is alot of corrosion on the contacts then you might not even need a new battery just clean them off real good with a baking powder solution.
